Betsy and Michael met while studying at USC. The courtship started in February 2009, when Michael asked Betsy to be his date to his fraternity formal. Betsy initially responded "she had to check her schedule," which Michael interpreted as a rejection. To Michael's surprise, Betsy ended up having availability after all! Michael and Betsy dated throughout the rest of their time at USC. Although distance separated them over the years with Michael working in San Francisco, and later in grad school at Wharton in Philadelphia -- they remained connected over a decade. In 2017, Michael made the move back to Los Angeles where they currently reside with their golden retriever, Poppy. Michael proposed in August 2020 on a vacation to Jackson Hole, WY with the backdrop of the Grand Tetons. They couldn't be more excited for their big day! Betsy, Michael, and Poppy are excited to celebrate with you!
